A 1664 funeral oration printed in Vercelli by Nicola Giacinto Marta, delivered by canon theologian Pietro Antonio Muzzone at the cathedral for Duchess Christina of France of Savoy. The picture is a large decorative woodcut initial E with dense scrolling foliage, flowers and a bold ornamental frame, set beside lines of Italian text; a designer might borrow its interlaced leaf-and-scroll border and the contrast of black ornament against a light text block.
